Weed Out The Flick.

This is the best season for classifi-
cation of ewes and Sdisposing Of the
poorest. By this time a correct judg-
ment of the lamb or lambs reared by
each eve can be formed, and the
weight of each fleece is also known.
The proftablsness Of the eve depends
upon the number and quality Of the
lambs she raises, her weight of wool,
etc. One eve may raise lamb while
another loses hers; yet the former will
sheer such poor fleece that she is
really the less profitable. The loss
Of lamb often occurs through no
fault of the eve. Nevertheless proli-
fcacy is desirable quality in a eve.
A good eve properly treated before
and after shearing, can rear two good
lambs without injury to herself. Some
ewes are better mothers than others.
It certainly will not be profitable
to keep the inferior sheep through
next winter. If the classification ia
made now, the rejected class can be
made ready for market on grass, which
makes the cheapest flesh. Many farm
ers will find the most profitable mar.
ket for these culls on their own farms.
Truly there is prejudice among con-
sumers against aged ewes. But this
ia chiefly OWING to the fact that such
are often put upon the market lie poor
condition. A lean sheep does not
make good mutton, whatever it's age.
It is not claimed that fattening an
old eve will make her yield the best
mutton; but it may be made good and
palatable. When the ewes are culled
out every year, there will soon be no
very old ones. This is not the season
for the consumption of salt pork; and
all things considered, mutton will be
q good thing for the farmers larder.-

the kitchen above. Exclamatiens,
peals of silvery laughter, rattling of
dishes, and melee of sounds general
~. And then the two culprits in Gel
lar heard the girls descending the Gel
lar-stairs.

Dragged so much of how he could
cook, and keep house in order, that
he'd rather die than face us. Aud he
knows I should tell Anne. Good
heavens, what a mess!"
The girls came daintily along, hold
ing up their skirts. Directly, Kate
got a glimpse of Sans face, smeared
with smut, and hair disordered. She
uttered piercing scream.
"It's negro,'' she cried, Selling
Mary and dragging her back. "He's
as black as the ace of spades. And
such dreadful countenance. I shall
die of fright"
1.-TWO Of them, ::cried Mary, as Sam
and bis friend rose from their conceal
ment. "Heaven help us! I'll call
the police" She started to rush up
the stairs, but Sam Brooks caught her
by the skirts and held her back.
"Do stop Mary-for heavens sake,
stop, and don't make an alarm. It's
only Charley and l, and we-we-that
is, we've been doing little cooking,
and we amt just ready to see COM
pany-"
"Oh, Charley, Charley" cried Kate,
"what would Anne say if she could
see how you've kept house?''
81 was an ass to boast" said Char
ley, frankly, "and l am willing to con-
fess it. You may tell Anne so when
you write to her. And Sam and l
will get our meals at hotel. l think
it will be cheaper, and easier for all
concerned"
81 should think it would" said
Kate.
Sam and Mary Hartley fingered be-
hind, to say that they thought it would,
too; and to say something vague and
sweet about the housekeeping they
two proposed to set up jointly. Only
Mary, not Sam, was to be housekeep-
er.
Charley johnson is "sadder" if
"wiser" man. He never brags any
more about how nicely be can keep
house.

Most farmers have learned how to
use Paris green by thoroughly mixing
one pound of poison with one hum
dred or more of finely ground plaster.
Occasionly some inexperienced person
uses more, and always with bad re-
suits. Too much Paris green kills
tender foliage Of young potato plants,
and it will not kill the bugs, as il re-
pels them and they do not eat it.

An exchange says Democratic
Congressman is represented as say
ing that Dakota will not be admit
ted to the Union either as one
State or two, this winter. He says
the Democrats have not forgotten
how the admission of Colorado cost
them Presidential election, aud
they do not propose to endanger
their chances next year by letting
in Republican Territory. 1t is to
be hoped that the gentleman does
not speak to his party, for if he does
his party deserves to be beaten. If
Dakota has outgrown the Territor-
ial condition; if it has the popula
ton emitting it to Representative
in Congress; if it has the ability to
maintain a republican form of gov
erument, it should be admitted to
the Union though every voter In the
State was politically opposed to the
majority party in Congress. If
there is one place more than anoth-
err where partisan politics ought to
be unknown, it is in this matter of
the admission Of Territories into
the Union. 1t was partisan politics
which let Colorado in, and the
Democrats were sold by i, having
counted on receiving the electoral
vote of the new State. If it is par
tisan politics which is keeping Da-
kota out, it will be only justice if
the meanness shall cost the DemoC-
racy an election.

In his annual report Secretary
Bayard recommends increased sala-
ries for several of the foreign min
listers. A better recommendation
would be one to abolish the entire
diplomats service of this country.
For the past ten years there has not
been the slightest occasion for an
American minister. No minister
has done his country good, or been
of the slightest service to anybody.
Ii diplomatic questions have arisen
they have all been referred to
Washington for adjustment, our
representative abroad either lack
ing the ability, the courage, or the
authority to act without instructions
from home. In view of. the fact
that the telegraph and cable lines
bring Washington in direct commu,
nication with all the capitals of the
civilized world, there can be no
further use for maintaining an ex-
pensive diplomatic corps. If it is
deemed of sufficient Importance to
have representatives abroad, just so
let the people of the respective coun
tries see how Americans look and
act, let the places be filled by rich
men who are ANXIOUS to spread on
style and will pay their own ex-
peeses, for tho sake of living in
European court and official cir
Giles There are plenty of wealthy
Americans just vain enough to do
that sort of thing, and they would
cut much more of swell than do
the politicians who are sent away
to do nothing but look wise and
dignified.
